statue of liberty as idea,symbol, and historical presence.
The statue of liberty is a global symbol, of being every where at once.
Lee Iacoeca" enduring symbol of hope.
the statue of libertys creators did not intend it to be a icon for immigrants.
Here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her
name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command. this shows how powerful people thought the statue of liberty is.
Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the goldern door." give me your poor your huddled masses yearning to breathe free resembles the poor imigrants. and so does the rest of this part of this poem.

I remember we see Statue of Liberty. Gus ass me, "What's the statue?" And then we're looking . . . and his father say, "That's Christopher Columbus." And I put my two cents out. I say, "Listn, this don't look like Christopher Columbus. That a lady there." Grrek (emigrated 1911).
After thirteen days, we finally cam ehere and I was so happy that I was now in America. I saw the Statue of Liberty. And I said to myslef, "Lady, you're beautiful. You opened your arms,and you get all the foreigners here. Give me the chance to prove that I am worth it, to do something, to become someone in America." Greek (emigrated 1919).
When word got out that we were approaching land, everybody . . . ran on deck. We were packed like sardines, gazing with such excitement and wonderment. I saw the Statue of Liberty. It was so impressive, so majestic, so meaningful. Freedom! Opportunity! And most of all, it linked to us, America and France . . . we knew it was given to America by France. French (emigrated 1920).
When we were told we would be passing the Statue of Liberty, we all lined the deck. The thrill of seeing that statue there. And the tears in everybody's eyes. . . .

In the early years, Jews fought to be treated like everyone else, seeking the "equal footing" that was theirs by law but not necessarily in practice. More recently, like other minorities and ethnic groups, they have asserted their right to be different and to have those differences accommodated and accepted by society-at-large.
When millions of East European Jews arrived between 1881 and 1924,
American Jews set up networks of organizations to settle and "Americanize" the new arrivals. And when confronted with prejudice and discrimination, Jews responded by creating organizations that fought for tolerance and acceptance.
This Hanukkah lamp incorporates Statue of Liberty figurines as holders for the candles that are lit to mark the eight days of Hanukkah, Judaism's annual commemoration of the second century B.C.E. victory of the Maccabbees over the Syrians. In linking America's quintessential symbol of freedom and opportunity with Judaism's celebration of freedom from oppression, this menorah represents a perfect metaphor for the twin sensibilities that give American Judaism its unique character.

immigrants came with no job no maney no skills and kids because it was better here.
statue of liberty gave a feeling of importance.
immigrants came to america just to survive.
kids dreamt of coming to america then eventually came.
to immigrants from far away the statue of liberty looked small but got bigger as they got closer they described that as watching it grow up.
Emma Lazarus's poem the new colossus speaks of a golden door to freedom but not everyone was allowed through that door. One group of people who were not included were the Chinese. When a Chinese man read about America asking china to contribute to the fund for the pedestal of the statue of liberty he said why we should have to pay for something that doesn’t include us. They felt it didn’t include them because of the Chinese exclusion act in 1882. The Chinese exclusion act was a law that stopped the Chinese from immigrating to America. This law also affected Chinese men and women who were already in America. They had to obtain certification for reenter. This made it almost impossible for Chinese men to bring their wives to America or start a family.
Another group that was not given freedom was the Jewish. For years the Jewish seeked to be treated equally and buy law they deserved it, but they still did not get it. During the civil war the Jewish were forced to choose sides although 150,000 Jews lived in the north about 25,000 Jews lived in the south and were faithful to the Confederate army, because of this the south side hated the north and the north hated the confederate army because of this anti Jewish sentiments grew.
